Istanbul, Turkey: the Obelisk of Theodosius stands majestically in Istanbul's Sultanahmet Square, originally part of the Hippodrome of Constantinople.

In the late 4th century AD, the Roman Emperor Theodosius I transported it to Constantinople, symbolizing the city's imperial grandeur and its connection to ancient civilizations. Measuring approximately 20.5 meters in height, the obelisk is adorned with intricate hieroglyphic inscriptions and once featured a pyramidion at its top, which is now missing. As one of Istanbul's most significant historical monuments, the Obelisk of Theodosius not only highlights the enduring legacy of Egyptian artistry but also reflects the rich, multicultural heritage of the city, attracting countless visitors who admire its storied past and architectural elegance.
